The Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC) has long been planned to become the city’s “downtown,” but the vision of a mixed-use centre with a concentration of high density employment and housing has yet to be realized. The planned extension of the Spadina Subway to the VMC and new Provincial policy initiatives set the stage for a reconsideration of existing plans.

The VMC Plan Review began in December 2008 under the umbrella of Vaughan Tomorrow, the City’s growth management strategy. The final approved VMC Secondary Plan will form part of Volume 2 of the VOP 2010.
